Embroidery
Thread-stitched logos that are durable, professional, and laundry-resistant. Best for chef aprons, hospitality uniforms, and premium corporate gifts. Works on cotton, canvas, and denim.
Branding Methods
The right branding for your apron order
Embroidery, screen printing, and heat transfer — understanding which method delivers the best result for your specific apron style, logo, and use environment.
Branding methods explained
Screen Printing
Bold, vibrant colour prints ideal for high-volume promotional and event aprons. Cost-effective for simple logos and large quantities on poly-cotton fabrics.
Heat Transfer
Full-colour logo application suitable for detailed, multi-colour artwork. Best for promotional aprons and lower-volume orders where embroidery isn't cost-effective.
Laser Engraving
Used on leather aprons for a permanent, premium brand mark. Creates a high-contrast debossed effect that complements the artisan aesthetic of leather workwear.
How we recommend the right branding method
-
We assess your logo — complex multi-colour artwork suits heat transfer; solid single-colour logos suit embroidery or screen print.
-
We consider wash resistance — hospitality uniforms need embroidery to survive industrial laundering.
-
We factor in quantity — screen printing becomes cost-effective at higher volumes due to set-up costs.
-
We match the method to the fabric — leather requires engraving; poly-cotton suits screen print; heavy canvas suits embroidery.
